VANCOUVER, Canada—The high-flying Edmonton Oilers needed every bit of another side of their game to survive a nail-biting finish Monday night that lifted them into the NHL’s Western Conference final.
The Oilers hung on to defeat the Vancouver Canucks 3–2 in Game 7 of a second-round Stanley Cup playoff series at Rogers Arena, and advanced to face the Dallas Stars in the NHL’s final four. The Western Conference final will begin Thursday night in Dallas.
